The Sweet-Teenage Rampage-REAL ENERGETIC, RAW AND LIVE!

[Fnatman]

Nice job there, but using the sound from the Rainbow concert to the Crackerjack video confuses. Both are legendary and shouldn't be mixed together, imho.

Cleverly edited but this soundtrack is from the Rainbow live cd I think! Look for this recording elsewhere and you'll hear the original Crackerjack soundtrack, which is different It doesn't have masturbation, constipation or Brian's fluffed lines at the beginning of the 2nd verse.

Nice job KRS!!

Someone has done a pretty good job of remastering the original sound. The bass is a little bit heavy, but the stereo "spread" effect is quite cool! I never understood why the band always had to lip sync all of the time. They were brilliant live (especially vocally) and never received the credit they should have. I have noticed on other live videos that they did use a secondary guitar player who did not appear on stage. The Little Willy live performance on You Tube shows this quite clearly.

Sorry meant to put Brain Connolly - my wife interupted and put m eoff

I picked up a DVD from Tesco some time ago all about the Sweet and there rise to fame, had interviews with ex managers and Andy Scott. Only cost £3.00, absolutely brilliant. Shame about Brian Connely and Mick Tucker - God Bless

Queen took alot from these guys

[Mattleycrue66]

@tatethompson1234 I totally agree!

[zmileyman]

[GodBlessDepecheMode]

I love The Sweet!

[zefurioustube]

it's time for the middle age rampage, right and I still play my old sweet records LOUD!!!

[UKSazzy67]

Did he really just say teenage masturbation? How did they get away with that in those days? Surely Top of the Pops wouldn't allow those lyrics.

[ZeppelinRochey]

Class!

[MJL3764]

Sounds like "Live at the rainbow" dubbed to the video.

[Dustymoo]

Beat me to it there. You're spot on. The correct audio track is the one that says REAL LIVE..

...and it's brilliant!

[soniclady89]

"Teenage masturbation/Teenage constipation!"

ha ha ha - I bet they were Steve's contributions to the lyrics . . . he's a lad !!! LOL (have a listen to"call me"- sweet here on YT)

Raw, energetic, best version I've heard in ages.

[MrsBloomsburyBarton]

Imagine the sensation of teenage masturbation. Wonderful! I bet that's what was originally written and it was toned down for the BBC!

[beamerZ]

I love the Sweet but why does this sound completely different from the same live-clip here on youtube? Brain even uses different notes here.

It appears it's a live recording from another gig?

[knightgun331]

I belive you are right because if you listen to THE SWEET/Teenage Rampage REAL LIVE Brian is singing different notes and Steve doesnt sing the same lyrics.

[1Brian94Connolly5]

teenage rampage now ..(now now now)

paha great

[cosmicheretic]

This blows my mind! Thick riffs and edgy lyrics that just kick the shit out of modern music.

[SynthetiKTeasE]

OMFG thanks soooo much for this!!.. its live for once! Steve sounds really great!
